The day opens along a narrow fondamenta where the canal breathes and the city’s brickwork leans close enough to touch. In Cannaregio, the scavenger-hunt format turns ordinary wandering into a mission: clues push you toward frescoed churches, quiet bridges and shopfronts that hold local stories. The canals dare you to look up and then back down at the reflections where detail hides.
